HOW 1T WORKED.

Yesterday, for the first time in the history
of the second Oldest city In the United states,
people could not buy what they wanted on
Sunday, I'm many cases being unable TO OBJ

and meat. The Sunday law was IN effect
with vengeance. Promptly at T. O'Clock

city, with the exception of four, went 10 with

open on their own account. The others will
have the support of the association In fighting
this law in the courts. All OF yesterday these
places were crowded. and more drunken men,
though not arrested, were seen on the streets
than ever before on u sunday in this city.
In the morning our citizens NJ home, in
many localities, could not get their bread,
their meat or their milk from their regular
dealers, they claiming they too, were subject
to the law. Many and loud were the anathe-
mas expressed upon the law and its asinine
trainers, the goth legislature.
The street cars, hacks and buggtes from
livery stables were allowed to run all day, and
the drug stores, also, were open, but strictly
refused to sell cigars, or Other articles, except
prescriptions, which they were COM
PEELED to compound. The prescription
trade was not very brisk. The

To Test The Law.

The Liquor Dealers association met on
Saturday night at Turner hall. Mr.. A. l. Lock
wood called the meeting to order and made a
firm and most emphatic protest against the
Sunday laws declaring II to be an outrage on
public liberty and he did not believe that any
jury would convict a saloon keeper for car

SENSIBLE FISH.
[Springfeld Union.l
Prof Spencer f. Baird has made the inter-
esting and patriotic discovery that halibut,
cod and mackerel like American bait better
than Canadian, and with proper care in pre-
serving bait, our fishermen have no need of
purchasing of the Canadians. We have the
impression, aleo, that the best fish have de-
clded preference for being eaten in the Unit
ed States, and never fall into Canadian traps
except by mistake or ignorance.
The Portland daily press., 1887-04-15

The Hon. William McDougall, the ex-
member of the Dominion cabinet, and a
prominent Canadian lawyer, who has before
given some opinions in relation to the fisher
les dispute not in accord with the position of
the Canadian government, has now repeated
in an open letter his assertion that in the
present dispute Canada is wrong In this
letter he says
My Interpretation OF the Treaty is not new
discovery. Hon. Peter Mitchell, ex-Minister of
Fisheries, and other prominent members of Par
lament can bear witness that during the session
OF 1885 directed their attention to the untena-
Bile and dangerous position the Canadian govern
ment had assumed on this international question,
and predicted that If persisted in the Treaty Of
1878 would be abrogated, and then the doctrine
OF jus trdnsttlts for foreign vessels within the
three-mile limit up to low water mark, affirmed by
majority of the judges in England in the Fran
coma case, would apply.
In case This doctrine of jus trdnsitus or
right of passage. should be left to apply to
American vessels within the three-mile lin
1t, heholds that American fishermen would
be "free from all restrictions" Mr.. Nc
Dougall expresses the opinion that Canada
has already drifted out of the Treaty of 1918.
1.-THE Congress Of the United States" he
says, "has passed a law which practically
annuls Article 1 of that treaty. 1t is a leg
islative yindication Of the construction which
we have placed upon that instrument. The
Executive Department of the American Gov
eminent is bound to recognize and enforce
that law, for 1T embodies and proclaims the
will of the nation. Until repealed by the
power that enacted it, we must acquiesce, or
resort to the ultima ratio reglna. If any
sane man in Canada, except the redoubtable
Minister of Fisheries, is spelling for fight
on such an issue and for such an object, 1
have not yet seen any announcement of the
fact" Perhaps if many of Sir John Mac
donald's present cabinet could be ex-minis-
tiers for time, they might unburden their
minds of similar sentiments.

The year 1887 has begun with great indus
trial activity in the South. The number of
new enterprises which have been started in
the first three months Of this year, is de-
clared by one Of the leading financial jour
nails, to be astonishing. The manufacture of
iron is receiving the most attention. and the
construction of furnaces is going ON rapidly.
With them are going up boundaries, machine
shops and factories for the manufacture of
agricultural implements. The old cotton
factories are receiving additions and new
ones are going up in many places. Above
all the development, if remarkably fast
seems to be sure and healthy. The growth
of Birmingham, Alabama, now the centre of
the most important iron manufactury re-
gion Of the South, is an illustration of the
strides the new South is taking. Sixteen
years ago the name Birmingham was not
even on the map of Alabama. In1SS5 it had
population of 2l,OoO; today it is thought to
have 10000. With this growth there is also
coming gratifying change in political SEN
timent. The old Democratic idea of letting
Industries take care of themselves is giving
place to a faith in the wise policy of protec-
ton which the Republican party advocates.
The disappearance of Mrs Howe of Wo-

column was published in the newspap-
ers all over the country concerning Mrs.
Howe's bank, her fraudulent methods were
thoroughly exposed, and she herself was
convicted in open court and sent to the peni-
Tertiary. But when she emerged from prison
she Immediately started her bank again. and
tifesequel shows that she had no difficulty
in finding people who were willing to confide
to her them money on no better security than
her promise that it should be returned to
them with big interest Doubtless some Of
these depositors knew that her bank was a
knavish concern, but expected to be smart
enough to get their money plus the big in
terest out before the crash came. DEPOSIT
tors of that character were simply partici-
pants in her iniquity and are entitled to no
sympathy. The depositors who entrusted
their money to her in good faith are the most
of them fools on whom sympathy would be
wasted.

The remarkable effects which follow the
administration of carbonic acid gas to pa
tients suffering from consumption have been
noticed in connection with the experiments
recently tried in a hospital at Philadelphia.
The remedy is ofFrench origin, having been
used by physician at Lyons before it was
tried in this country. The remarkable re-
cuperation of the Philadelphia patients has
been reported very widely by the newspa-
pers, which have heralded the new treat
ment as of undoubted efficacy w cure CON
sumption. A second statement that it was
yet too early to judge whether the improve
ment Of the patients was to be permanent,
has, as is natural, been far less widely cir
culated Consumption Of the lungs, where it
has become firmly seated is not disease to
let go its grip in one week or one month, so
that any wonderful remedies that are said to
effect speedy cures may be looked upon with
skepticism that is perfectly reasonable.
Rapid and often apparently permanent con-
valescence is one of themost common as well
as most deceptive characteristics of the dis
ease. Whether the effects Of the new treat
ment shall be permanent cannot be deter
mined except after time and trial. That its
first effects are both surprising and eneour-
aging the newspapers are bringing us ac-
counts from other places than Philadelphia.
One Of the most remarkable is in New Or
leans. A woman in that city was so i'll with
consumption that ON March Goth the doctors
had given her up as hopeless case. Two
thirds OF her left lung was destroyed. All
other resources having failed the doctors de-
termined to try an injection of carbonic acid
gas and sulphuretted hydrogen gas, as had
been recently tried in the hospital at Phila-
delphia. In ten minutes after administration
the gas had reached the lungs, and was clear
ly discernible in the breath of the patient:
in half an hour her temperature had fallen
from 1922 to $50; and this was followed by
craving for food; and after food had been
given by restful sleep. A gain in weight
Immediately began to result, and after three
weeks of the treatment the patient has
gained three and one-half pounds.
In Buffalo, New York, similar experiments
are going on with similar results. On
Wednesday forenoon at a clinic attended by
a large number of students two gallons Of
gas were administered to a young man suf-
fering from consumption. In short time
he declared he could taste the gas. The
theory is that the gas passes from the bowels

A Great Surgeon
-ANDA-
Noted Physician.

The distinguished American physician, DR..
r. c. Flower, is cousin of that eminent
surgeon, scientist, and author, Professor
VIM. II. Flower, F. r. S. of London. Prof.
Flower is one of the Queens surgeons; he is
also the director of natural history in the
British Museum, an intimate friend of Prof.
Huxley, and leading contributor to the
Encyclopedia Britannica and other, standard
works. While the professor has been thus
prosecuting his research in surgery and
science in the old world. DIR. r. C. Flower,
much his junior in years. has been engaged
in exhaustive study in the realm of medicine
and compelling the flowers, plants and trees
of the earth to yield their virtue for the cure
Of the sick and dying of this age. The
splendid success that has crowned his patient
scientific study, is witnessed in his wonderful
Nerve and Brain Pill, and that king of all ton
les and specific cure Of dyspepsia and indiges-
ton lis Liver and Stomach Sanative. These
great remedies are now for sale by all drug
gists, and are performing miraculous cures
in tens of thousands of cases. They will

to the blood and thence is carried to the
lungs, where it comes directly In contact
with the diseased parts.
These experiments at Buffalo and New Or
leans, like those at Philadelphia prove that
this treatment is followed by marked
change for the better Whether or not that
change can be made permanent will be
question very interesting, in New England
especially.
